There have been been reported cases of violence, chaos and confusion at some registration centers, while in other centers, the exercise has been characterized with long queues and faulty registration machines.

Speaking at a press conference after the Supreme Court had ordered the EC to clean the voters’ register of minors, dead people and those who registered with the National Health Insurance card, deputy chairperson of the EC, Georgina Opoku Amankwa, said they will consider extending the registration exercise after a holistic review.

“After the exercise we will look at it holistically and see whether it merits an extension,” she said in response to a question as to whether the Commission was considering extending the registration due to the hitches recorded so far.

According to her, a decision in that regard has been agreed on yet but said they would consider that option after reviewing the entire exercise.

Opoku Amankwa also disclosed that the EC has sent another team to the University of Ghana (UG), Legon, to help speed up the registration process.

According to her, the Commission hopes to register about 1.5 million people
